I got the stealth 500X headphones back in 2014. After ~2 years of use (and I generally take very good care of my electronics), the plastic holding the left ear cup to the band snapped. No dropping, stepping, or other trauma--just snapped. And this was a $230 headset from TB.

If you're fine getting a headset that will last 1-2 years, go for it. The console generation may be moving on by then. There's going to be some new wireless headsets coming out for X1 later his year, one of them being Lucid Sound which should have metal instead of plastic.
